Applying to Internships :)

i do have some smaller projects, but theyre pretty unoriginal, and i think some of the other things i have are better

[amber slate]

huh “gained 40% in CAD skills” what does this mean?

“increased project impact by 25%” what?

[obsidian bolt]

mane 💀

[amber slate]

how did u get ur metrics? most/none of them make sense

none are good lies

[obsidian bolt]

i was using chat gpt bc i cant think of like quantifiable results for what i did

[amber slate]

at least come up with a good lie lol

[obsidian bolt]

thats true

[amber slate]

cus none of thst makes sense

a good read through of the bullet points shouldve told u that

and shows lack of understanding of whats actually meant to be in bullet points/resumes. I would read through the pinned post

can drop classes that say “I and II” it’s unnecessary

can drop MS offline

office*

u graduate next year and theres pretty much no programming skills on the resume. Do you have any projects? hackathons? open source contributions?

[obsidian bolt]

i get my associates nxt yr

[obsidian bolt]

there's like a stem fest thing we have

its on there

[amber slate]

huh? is thr bachelors a guaranteed thing? i would just put bachelors instead of associates

and put eta may 2027

[obsidian bolt]

yeah but it wouldnt b at the same school

but its guaranteed

actually i do have a question, do i know its best to put like numerical data for bullet points

but what if you dont have numbers

is it just a reasonable estimate?

[amber slate]

i almost gave you a warning for bringing a fabricated resume on here but ill let it live

depends on the metric

[obsidian bolt]

what 😭

nahhh

[amber slate]

some metrics you can give a reasonable estimate but others

things like latency and stuff could probably be reasonably estimated

[obsidian bolt]

all the info is correct, the numbers are... 💀

[amber slate]

but if u have no actual proof/explanation behind ur estimation, then the whole thing is moot

[obsidian bolt]

true

i mean techinally

okay anyway lemme fix the bullets, I'll b back in due time

should I close this?

[amber slate]

no

[obsidian bolt]

i just removed numbers all tg (except the robotics one bc i found the stat)

[amber slate]

are u going for SWE internships?

too much bolding

[obsidian bolt]

or IT

could you review my resume in #1286025775711256617 ?

[amber slate]

it is not good practice to

1. ping folks at random to review your resume
2. use somebody elses thread to do #1

[static verge]

i was gonna dm you, but i read your description.

therefore i pinged you to ask the question
